The Effects of Seed Yield and Some Agricultural Characters of Plant Density on Chickpea

This research was conducted to determine effects of different sowing densities on seed yield some agricultural characteristics of Diyar-95 chickpea variety in 2014 growing season under Sırnak ecological conditions. Trial was set up ac-cording to Split Plots in Randomized Blocks design with three replications. Chickpea variety “Diyar-95” was subjected to four row spaces (15, 30, 45 and 60 cm) and three intra-row spaces (5, 10 and 15 cm) distances in the research. According to the results, seed yield showed statistically significance by the ef-fects of row spaces and intra-row spaces distances. As the mean of row spaces; the highest seed yield was obtained 149.47 kg da^-1 by the 10 cm distance. Mean of the intra-row spaces showed the highest seed yield as 187.56 kg da-1 on the 30 cm for row space. In the study, Diyar-95 variety showed the highest seed yield as 236.98 kg da^-1 value by 30 cm of row space and 10 cm of intra-row space sowing density. According to the results of annual research, a sowing density of 30 x 10 cm is optimum for Sırnak.
